A gleeful gloriously wicked blend of action hilarity and luminous panoramic photography 800 Bullets is cult auteur Alex De La Iglesia's hyper-stylized tribute to the classic spaghetti westerns. Young Carlos (Luis Castro) upon discovering his grandfather was an infamous stuntman on the Almeria-sets where hundreds of epic westerns were filmed including those Sergio Leone and Clint Eastwood embarks on a journey that will change his life forever. With his mother's (acting legend Carmen Maura) credit card in his pocket and her on his tail he sets his sights on Texas-Hollywood... where he discovers a band of outsiders still brawling battling and chasing their dreams of stardom amidst the arid dust of the scorching Spanish desert. Calamity hilarity and death defying feats of stupidity and bravery are never far away in this acclaimed action comedy from one of modern cinema's unsung masters. [show more]

Director Alex de la Iglesia's look back to Spanish filmmaking of old centres on Carlos (Luis Castro), a young boy on a mission to find the grandfather denied him by his mother. The grandfather, Julian (Sancho Gracia), who was once a stuntman on spaghetti westerns, is now reduced to doing stunt shows for tourists with his old buddies on the same decaying sets. Carlos's appearance restores some pride to Julian, but when Carlos's mother Laura (Carmen Maura) finds out where he is, she decides to finally destroy the last remnants of Julian's past career: the old film sets. The stage is now set for the old cowboy's final showdown.
